SDD Predictions/Thoughts (3 Viewers)

how was there not a thread for sdd before when there is a thread for music 1?

 

[SASH_06_X]

here are my predictions
there'll be a q(or more than one) abt social and ethical issues in the mc
there'll be a q in the short answer on the fetch-execute cycle cuz there wasn't one last year
there'll be something on documentation/manuals in the mc
there'll be linear/binary search q in the short answers

Crossing fingers there won't be a fetch execute cycle q...i've completely forgotten what it means.

ur not the only one

fr the only thing i've got a solid grasp of in sdd is the theory stuff
the algorithms r frying my brain

apparently theres only 1600 people taking sdd which is suprising

yh esp considering the number of ppl opting for computing courses in uni

a lot of schools (including my own) don’t offer it despite students wanting to do it.

And 90% of the students doing SDD are males. Terrible female participation rates

i'm state ranking this shit, fuck you all, it's my time to shine

This is SO fr. Case in point: my SDD class, where amongst the 23 of us, there are only two girls(including me).

u got any predictions for the exam??

don't need to make predictions, i can't think of one that would stump me. i have now become an unmoveable force after english, i'm prepared for anything and everything..

actually if they get us to write an insertion sort from scratch it might fuck me up, but other than that i am bing chilling

i'd probably vouch for the fetch-execute cycle question, seems to test the knowledge of lower-level computer understanding and it's a good q to sort out band 5 from band 6 students as it can get quite specific... other than that, there's def going to be some algorithm/pseudocode questions, and probably some shit to do with flowcharts

yeah my entire SDD class is male, and there is 1 female in my IPT class. Pretty sad, but both are taught by females so that's something I guess?

imagine having an irl teacher - we have an online course

 

[SASH_06_X]

so this is a sort of dumb question to ask the day before the sdd exam, but which option topic do u guys do????? I do option 1(paradigms) and it feels like almost everyone I knows is doing option 2
yeah like said before just curious
